Garrett - Goldmaster 24k - Gold Metal Detector – 6" x 10" DD Coil

The Garrett - Goldmaster 24k is a high-frequency VLF metal detector engineered specifically for electronic gold prospecting. Operating at 48 kHz, the Goldmaster 24k delivers excellent sensitivity to tiny and sub-gram gold while providing the ground-handling controls needed for highly mineralized gold-bearing soils.

Originally developed by White’s Electronics and now manufactured and supported by Garrett, the Goldmaster 24k combines proven gold-detector technology with Garrett’s U.S.-based manufacturing and 3-year limited warranty.

Key Features

• 48 kHz Operating Frequency – High-frequency VLF performance provides excellent sensitivity to very small gold nuggets.

• XGB Ground Balance System – Advanced automatic ground tracking helps the detector remain stable across changing and highly mineralized ground conditions.

• TracLock – Allows you to lock the current ground-balance setting when you don't want the detector continuously tracking the soil.

• Ground-Sync – Quickly updates the detector's ground setting when conditions change.

• Variable Self-Adjusting Threshold (vSAT) – Adjustable threshold recovery helps compensate for changing ground mineralization.

• 10 Sensitivity/Depth Levels – Fine-tune performance for ground conditions and target size.

• Adjustable Iron Cancel – Helps identify and reject unwanted iron and troublesome hot rocks.

• Digital Target ID – Provides additional information to help distinguish ferrous from non-ferrous targets.

• Two Audio Modes – Choose between 2-Tone Beep Mode or traditional VCO Zip Mode favored by many experienced gold prospectors.

• Frequency Shift – Helps reduce interference from nearby detectors and electrical sources.

• Backlit Display – Improves visibility in low-light conditions.

• Adjustable Volume & Threshold – Customize the detector's audio response to your preferences.

6" x 10" DD Waterproof Searchcoil

The included 6" x 10" DD searchcoil provides an excellent combination of ground coverage, maneuverability and sensitivity to small gold. The searchcoil is waterproof, making it well suited for detecting around creeks, washes and other wet prospecting environments. The detector's control housing is rainproof but should not be submerged.

Built for Mineralized Gold Country

Gold-bearing areas often contain highly mineralized soils, hot rocks and rapidly changing ground conditions that can make conventional VLF detectors difficult to operate. Garrett's XGB automatic ground tracking, adjustable Iron Cancel and variable SAT system give the Goldmaster 24k the tools needed to maintain stability while retaining sensitivity to small gold.

This makes the Goldmaster 24k an excellent choice for prospectors searching desert washes, exposed bedrock, tailing piles, old placer workings and gold-bearing hillsides where small nuggets may have been overlooked by lower-frequency detectors.

Why Choose the Goldmaster 24k?

The Goldmaster 24k is designed for prospectors who prioritize small-gold sensitivity without giving up control in difficult ground. Its 48 kHz operating frequency makes it particularly responsive to tiny, low-conductive gold targets, while XGB ground tracking helps keep the detector usable when mineralization changes across a search area.

Whether you're working exposed bedrock in California's Mother Lode, searching old placer workings, or detecting desert goldfields, the Goldmaster 24k provides a proven VLF platform specifically designed around one goal—finding gold.
